House rules

We regret that we cannot allow smoking or pets.
As the flat is situated within a tenement, please be mindful of the neighbours and don't play loud music between 10pm and 9am. For this reason no parties are permitted.
We would appreciate if you left your shoes in the hall - this helps to keep the flat clean for yourself and future guests.

The flat was beautiful and cozy location in just 20 minutes walking distance from the castle. A bus linking the airport to the major tourist attractions stops within a walking distance of just 3 minutes. There are supermarkets and a little pub just around the corner as well as lots of restaurants and a cinema just a little down the road.
Derek and his sister-in-law Fiona were perfect hosts providing us with everything we could have wished for at our arrival (even a bag of cookies). Even though Derek himself was on a holiday while we were in Edinburgh, he e-mail us providing all necessary pieces of information in advance. Fiona stepped in to welcome us and cared for us with heart-warming kindness.
Edinburgh is a great place. There is so much to see and to do. We definitely recommend going there and staying at Derek's place.

It worked all fine with our stay in Edinburgh. We have Derek SMS subsequently when we went out with the bus from the airport. His wife Sheila has received us at the apartment and explained everything to us and shown. Sheila had a super tip for an outdoor. There Beate had bought some hiking boots, which had put them on immediately and during the whole time out there has done. The apartment was very well located and very well equipped. We have taken much even if the weather has not always played. We were in the Parliament, were in the Hollyrood Park and on Arthur`s Seat, with the bus to Roslyn Chapel, along the Canal to the Botanical Garden, with the bus to the bridge and Portobello. Many thanks to Derek who has rated us so positively. Three girlfriends - Beate, Marion and Silvia

Derek as our host of the flat had done an impressive good job. Everything was arranged perfectly. The Interieur was well choosen, very clean and so it was a pleasure to stay. The explanations of Derek were quite helpful. The flat itself can be reached by local bus while the bus stop is nearby. So overall 5* and thanks to Derek for his hospitality.
